Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"You have to be careful, too. Also, you have to go see if anyone is willing to buy our food and see how much it costs."

"If it's a lot, we still need to consider whether the meat coupons, vegetable coupons, and grain coupons we have are enough. If it's less, it doesn't matter. Yu Shui and I can save a lot every month."

"If there are more, we have to consider getting some tickets."

Sha Zhu adheres to the principle of preparing food and fodder before troops move forward, so he has to think about these things first.

"You can go and see how many tickets the deaf old lady has, don't let the old man get them first."

"I'll see if I can get some tickets from Third Uncle. He has a lot of tickets, but he's reluctant to use them, especially meat and vegetable tickets."

The first person Jia Dongxu thought of was the person who used the least tickets in the yard.

"I'll go check on the old lady right now. Forget about Old Man Yan. If you can get the tickets from him, you'll be skinned alive. Do you still want to make money?"

Sha Zhu was also afraid that Yi Zhonghai would get it first. If Yi Zhonghai asked for it, the deaf old lady would really give it to him.

"Okay! Huairu and I will go see if anyone wants to try it tomorrow."

Jia Dongxu nodded and followed Sha Zhu out.

However, after Jia Dongxu went out, the first target he chose was Yi Bufan.

......

Yi Bufan's family.

"What the hell, I give money to an old man and ask him to cook for us?"

Yi Bufan was a little confused after listening to Jia Dongxu's words, and so was Xu Xiaoran.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I saw it anyway. These three lunch boxes were sent to you by an old man. He already said that a meal with meat costs two yuan, and a meal without meat costs one yuan."

As Jia Dongxu spoke, he looked at the three lunch boxes on the table. One of the two lunch boxes containing dumplings had been eaten empty, leaving only one dumpling.

"These are still dumplings, meat dumplings?"

As Jia Dongxu was about to take it, he was stopped by Yi Bufan.

"One dumpling is ten cents. Pay first and then eat."

Yi Bufan may not help the poor.

"Hey, stingy, I just want to try it to see if it's meat dumplings, who cares."

Jia Dongxu glanced at the dumplings and took a good sniff. They smelled really good.

"Meat dumplings, more meat and less vegetables, thin skin and big fillings!"

Yi Bufan told Jia Dongxu the inside story.

"This is a meat dish and a scrambled egg. There's so much meat."

"These are meat dumplings and meat vegetables, and they're also two dollars a meal?"

Jia Dongxu was a little overwhelmed, wondering if he had suffered a loss.

If that's the case, I'd be willing to pay two dollars to buy it.

Two lunch boxes of big meat dumplings and one lunch box of fried beans, meat and scrambled eggs.

Even if you spend two dollars in a state-owned restaurant, it wouldn't be that much.

"you ask me?"

Yi Bufan wanted to laugh.

"nonsense!"

Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes at Yi Bufan.

"Yes, two dollars. I gave the old man two dollars."

Xu Xiaoran fed Yi Bufan a dumpling and said.

"Look, your wife said it, we are all neighbors, there is nothing we can't talk about."

"Besides, the eldest uncle is my master."

Jia Dongxu looked as if he had hit the nail on the head.

"What on earth are you doing? Let's get down to business."

Yi Bufan naturally didn't think that Jia Dongxu came just to verify this matter.

"It's like this, I plan to cook for others with Shazhu, just like you."

"If there's no one at home to cook, or if you want to eat something good, you can let us cook for you. A meal costs one or two yuan, depending on what you eat. If there's meat and steamed buns, it's two yuan, and if there's anything else, it's less."

"It's definitely a lot cheaper than eating out."

"Of course, it depends on how many people are eating there. If there are many people, give more money, if there are few, give less money, and then..."

Jia Dongxu was speaking excitedly when he was interrupted by Yi Bufan.

"Let's get to the point. I don't have time to waste with you."

Yi Bufan's words made Jia Dongxu's face turn ugly.

But I endured it.

"What I mean is, you can let us cook for you in the future. As you know, Shazhu is a chef, and the leaders in the factory all ask him to cook..."

Jia Dongxu was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Yi Bufan.

"Shazhu has become a handyman now. The boss won't ask him to cook anymore. It's like he's not even a chef anymore."

If there is any problem in the factory, it will spread to every corner within half a day.

There's nothing we can do, everyone is quite free.

"Well, at least Shazhu's cooking skills are still there. They must be better than those of an old lady. You..."

As soon as Jia Dongxu wanted to say the next sentence, he was choked back by Yi Bufan's words.

"You said that the uncle is your master, and the aunt is your master's wife. Do you mean that your master's wife's cooking is not tasty? Does your master know that you said that?"

As Yi Bufan spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xu Xiaoran's mouth.

"I'm full. I don't want to eat anymore."

Xu Xiaoran shook her head, and Yi Bufan took out a handkerchief and wiped Xu Xiaoran's mouth.

Jia Dongxu looked at the two people showing their affection and listened to Yi Bufan's words, and he wanted to explode.

"My master and his men won't bother with Sha Zhu. Don't you know who Sha Zhu is? He's the person my master protects the most in this courtyard."

"I won't waste my time talking to you. I'm just telling you that from now on, you can ask us for your meals. We'll give you a cheaper price. One dollar and ninety cents with meat, and ninety cents without meat."

Jia Dongxu didn't say much and just stated his willingness.

"Oh, so you are here to steal your master's business."

"Row!"

Yi Bufan said as he looked at Xu Xiaoran: "Wife, get 19 yuan for Brother Dongxu."

"What?!"

Xu Xiaoran didn't react for a moment.

"Brother Dongxu and Shazhu opened a restaurant at home to sell food. We have to support them. Nineteen yuan will cover ten meals first."

"Forget about today. Starting tomorrow, give them five days' worth of lunch and dinner."

After Yi Bufan explained it, Xu Xiaoran suddenly understood. She didn't know what Yi Bufan was going to do, but she just did as he said and played along.

Xu Xiaoran didn't believe that Yi Bufan would really ruin his father's career.

"Brother Bufan is really kind. I will definitely ask Shazhu to make delicious food for you."

When Jia Dongxu heard that he had received 19 yuan in the first transaction, his heart beat three times faster. This was more than half a month's salary for him.
